In this live cohort, you’ll skip the wading through YT tutorials and conflicting advice to get real-time, practical guidance on creating high-quality video content from your phone. You’ll be able to ask questions, get direct feedback, and walk away with the skills to shoot, edit, and share content that actually works—without relying on expensive gear or hiring someone else to do it for you.

03

For anyone eager to learn—business owners, entrepreneurs, content creators, marketers, sales professionals, and hobbyists.

What you’ll get out of this course

Visual Storytelling 101

You’ll learn why certain elements in photos and videos stand out and how to use this knowledge to enhance your own content. We’ll examine how lighting, camera positioning, and framing can impact the story you’re telling.

Camera Setup 101

Learn to frame your footage with the right angles, lighting, and sound to keep the focus on your message. You don’t need expensive gear—you have a fantastic camera in your pocket. What matters is knowing how to use it to create visuals that enhance, not distract.

Locations 101

Not all locations are created equal. I’ll teach you what to look for, what to avoid, and why it matters—plus, you’ll get feedback on the spots you plan to shoot in so you can enhance production value and reinforce your brand.

Video Narrative 101

Creating engaging video content isn’t just about looking good on camera—it’s about telling a story that resonates. In this session, you’ll learn how to craft videos that capture attention, build credibility, and leave a lasting impression on your audience.

Video Editing 101

We’ll walk through common editing platforms while I teach you the essentials to transform your raw footage into polished, professional content.
